After pondering for awhile, Zenaida sent a message to Roy.
' Did Carl eat something before the teacher came?'
At the same time when she sent the message to Roy, she received a message from Roy. It was ' Zenaida, I heard from Joy that you are sick. Are you feeling well? '
Zenaida was really taken aback by this sudden coincidence. She smiled lightly while staring at her phone screen.
Ava who was sitting beside Zenaida, noticed Zenaida's smile and immediately leaned towards the phone screen of Zenaida.
" Roy Gaudin!! You are even chatting with him now." Ava exclaimed at her.
" I have been chatting with him here and there for a long time. " Zenaida said to her back.
" I never expected that Roy Gaudin to be a this much nice person. He is the third son of the Gaudin family which was the one of the wealthiest families in the city. Although he couldn't compare to the Carl's family. " Ava said in a very casual voice.
" Yeah. He is such a nice person despite his wealthy background. " Zenaida said to Ava while typing a reply to Roy.
' I'm not sick but don't tell anyone else about it. I just wanted to come to the home early because of some matters. But I couldn't tell about that to mr. Harry. So, I had to lie to him about me being sick. '
***********
Roy who was secretly messaging Zenaida to ask about her sickness behind the Joy's back was surprised by the sudden message of Zenaida.
They both have send the messages to each other at the same time.
What kind of coincidence is this?
Before he could send a reply to Zenaida's inquiring, he received another text message from Zenaida. He read it and he immediately showed it to Carl who was beside him with an extremely worried face.
Carl was annoyed by the sudden disturbance of Roy but he still looked at what he was trying to show to him. He noticed the name on the chat box which Roy showed to him.
The name which was written above the chat box was Zenaida.
Carl immediately read the messages in the phone screen. The first message was send by the Zenaida and she was asking from Roy, if he has eaten anything before the class began.
Then, he read the second message which was send by Zenaida.
So, she isn't sick. It was just a lie to mislead their home room teacher.
He never thought that she could also lie in this way.
Small smile appeared on the Carl's face. Roy didn't miss this smile of Carl and he also smiled along with Carl on his own. He was happy to see that his friend has come back to his usual state.
Roy started to type a reply for Zenaida.
' I was really worried that you were severely sick. I'm happy to hear that you are all okay. About Carl, don't worry. He has eaten the food which you gave him and he has already forgiven you too.'
Carl leaned back on his seat and continued to stare at the phone screen of Roy without shifting his gaze towards anywhere else.
Soon, Zenaida replied " That's a relief to hear. "
Zenaida is really worried about him skipping a meal. If he was to not eat anything at all, would she be worried in this way until the dinner time?
She is too much caring about him.
Zenaida sent another message to Roy again.
' Are you using phone in the middle of the class?'
Roy replied ' The teacher didn't come back. I'm messaging with you behind the back of our class monitor. '
' Did the teacher give some homework to do?' Zenaida asked through a message.
' She has instructed us to look through the next lesson. It is boring for me. So, I was playing some games to kill the time ' Roy replied.
' What a great kid are you? Should I send a message to our class monitor saying that keep a good eye on the boy called Roy in our class.' Zenaida replied to him with some smiling emojis.
Roy smiled lightly at Zenaida's words and started to type again.
Carl who was looking at the interaction between Zenaida and Roy, felt little bit displeasure in his heart.
Zenaida has never messaged with him before as she is doing now with Roy.
She didn't even have his phone number with her. Yet she is not only have the phone number of Roy but also they seem to be very close with each other too.
May be she is close to Roy than she is being close to him.
She has never joked around with him like she was joking around with Roy now.
Are they always joking around with each other?
Carl remembered how they were smiling with each other at the teacher's office before. Zenaida has not only bought food with her money for him but also she has bought them for Roy too.
Are they this much close with each other in the daily basis?
"Roy, when did you become this much close with Zenaida? " Carl asked Roy in a very calm voice.
"We have been close since that accident which was happened 5 months ago. " Roy answered Carl while paying attention to his phone.
"Are you both sending messages to each other always in this way too? " Carl again asked Roy.
" Hmm...." Roy just casually answered him while giving his all attention to his phone.
Carl seems to be more displeased by the answers of Roy to his questions and he pursed his lips while pondering about this matter very seriously.
Doesn't Zenaida love him so much?
Then, why doesn't she even have the phone number of his? She didn't even try to ask for his number.
Doesn't she want to message with him frequently like with Roy?
